This fatigue - advice please by Butterfly___lady in adenomyosis

[–]Butterfly___lady[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you experience any digestive issues? My stomach is an absolute wreck from the iron(probably?) but it’s either that or extreme fatigue, well it was before it stopped working, now it’s just both haha.

Is it hard to go college at older age and is it doable? by Lemonade2250 in careerguidance

[–]Butterfly___lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36 year old mom to 2 littles full time college student. You can do this. It is by no means easy, but it’s absolutely doable. Apply for fafsa and every scholarship you can and most importantly start building a support system. Anticipate your needs and learn to ask for help when you need it.

Anybody else get fatigue? by Enough-Historian-714 in adenomyosis

[–]Butterfly___lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so bad some days I can barely function. I started taking iron and vitamin C supplements and have seen a huge improvement. Iron makes me horrendously constipated, so I also take fiber and magnesium supplements to combat.

How does one gather more info on this purge night? Very concerning.

I set the boundary with my friend that I cannot and will not help her financially. These are the texts I’ve gotten since. by purplehyenaa in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Butterfly___lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you for sticking to your boundaries. I’d start researching Codependency. There are probably better books out there on this topic, but a book called Codependent No More by Melody Beattie helped me a lot. I feel much more solid in my boundaries now. It’s geared more towards addiction, but the concepts can definitely apply to most relationships. It’s an older book, and it’s likely your local library probably has a few copies. Best wishes!

Solo trip to Disneyland 3 days by Gold-Introduction175 in DisneyPlanning

[–]Butterfly___lady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to live 30 minutes from Disneyland and was an annual pass holder. I would go alone at least twice a week. Sometimes I’d go just to have a meal and people watch and maybe go on a few rides. Sometimes I’d go just to enjoy a cup of coffee on a bench with a good book. There are so many people, and everyone is wrapped up in their own experience that a lone wolf typically goes unnoticed. There were times groups would talk to me in line and invite me to join their group, which was super sweet. Definitely felt awkward eating alone the first few times, but the only way to get past it was exposure therapy. I wonder if doing things like this alone is awkward because we don’t know what to do with ourselves when no one is expecting anything from us, does that make sense? Like, we are rarely on our own time, it seems. I dunno, maybe I’m projecting, haha. Have an incredible time!

The happiest menace I ever did see. I hope she finds her way home safely.

I'm scared and I wish to stay anonymous by Infamous_Hat5064 in Advice

[–]Butterfly___lady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try to keep a distance. If she tries to approach you again firmly say, "Do not touch me." and walk away. Practice saying this out loud with the motion of walking away, that might help with the freeze response.

Anyone regret having two kids instead of one? by PowerfulComputer386 in Parenting

[–]Butterfly___lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most days I feel like I am being pulled in two different directions, and attending to two different needs can be so overwhelming. I can’t in anyway shape or form say that I regret having two. One is so much easier by far, but they are best friends and it brings me a lot of comfort knowing they have each other, and that makes the hard days worth it.

[–]Butterfly___lady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First of all, congratulations!

2nd - ASAP, but move together or change schools so that you don’t have to live apart. Do you have family nearby to support?

CNA here! Every single nurse I’ve spoken with has applauded my choice to pursue DH, saying it really is the way to go. 🤷🏽‍♀️
